Katharine McPhee regains health

American idol runner up Katherine McPhee is back on the ball after contracting severe bronchitis and laryngitis, thus missing the first part of the American idol tour.

However, she seems to be back in fine form and rejoins the tour today; however she has come under fire after being spotted working on a photo shoot and enjoying some rest and relaxation with her man.

However, speaking to Extra McPhee defended her actions and claims she was protecting her voice.
She said: "It was definitely difficult, especially with the media making assumptions about what exactly it was, she's ditching the tour for a movie, all these silly things...it's just part of the business and I'm happy I'm healthy."

I felt horrible. It's a huge disappointment. You're not only disappointing yourself but you're disappointing the people who work for you, your fans most importantly....this is like my first official day of actually speaking."

Expect to see McPhee singing for her supper from now on…
